I recommend Lobb St. James to anyone who is passionate about English Bespoke...

hmmh, only english, not bespoke shoes in general?

though, i have the whole palette of great craftsmen right in front of me in Vienna, i have a sentimental connection to Lobb since i saw a documentary about them. i have been there and you got it to the point with your description of the old world charme. i couldn't afford to place an order back than, but i exactly knew, i will return to this place...

Yes they are. Just showed them to Mrs Pocketsquare who gave them two thumbs up and a "they look so British" seal of approval (being a Brit she gets to say that ).

The only downside is that I can't see myself wearing them until Oct. They just have a Fall and Winter look about them. But when the leaves fall I will know doubt be wearing these with a chunky knit sweater or corduroy suit.
